  LEFT ROW:  Plants in row on left are from  GS9 (L. chilense resistance from Jay Scott) x Marina.  Note roma-type fruit on some of these plants.

RIGHT ROW:  Row on right is a  population of plants from the complex cross of L1-111 x Rodade x H1 (GF3 x GC6).  L1-111 is a selection from TY198 with resistance from L. peruvianum  and GF3 has resistance from L. hirsutum.  Note the large number of fruits on some of these plants.
